On the second death anniversary of Dev Anand, Conversations over Chai “discovered a wealth of songs where Dev Anand was either drunk or pretend drunk, or at least holding a glass… to raise a metaphorical toast to an actor and a gentleman …to list some beautiful songs that he lip-synched on screen in Intoxicating Dev Anand.

Conversations over Chai then goes on pay a very unique tribute to Raj Kapoor on his 89th birthday – quite an interesting and thought-provoking quiz in The Only Showman.

14th December was also 47th anniversary of Shailendra’s passing away. Pravin Thakkar has penned the multi-faceted portrait of Shailendra in his article published in his (Gujarati) column Rajatpat Na Rang in Kutchhmitra’s Sunday supplement Madhuvan of 8th December 2013.

Arunkumar Deshmukh has come up with one more of an extensive and well-researched treatise on a very novel topic – confusions of similar names in Hindi Film Industry @ Anmol Fanakaar in the article ‘same name confusions – part 1, part 2 and part 3’.

Songs of Yore has ended a long vigil of its followers in announcing the Best songs of 1953: Final Wrap Up 4. The survey article together with Wrap Up 1 on the best male playback singer, Wrap Up 2 on the best female playback singer and Wrap Up 3 on the best duets and the present final Wrap Up together represent probably the most unique and comprehensive discussion of the entire music of a particular year.

Our each episode has several intersting pieces on Mohammad Rafi. In the case of ‘Teesri Kasam’, there is no sign of Rafi here, still Shankar – Jaikishan as many as four singers for Waheeda Rehman. Tables had turned and how, for Lata Mangeshkar by 1966 vis-à-vis Shankar-Jaikishan can be judged from this.

I have not really done more than what I felt about the article, as it fits the subject of my series like a T.
But, that does not take away the credit your creative appraisal so pleasantly visible in the article. So it was my privilege to cover the article here.

Many thanks for visiting the blog and appreciative first-cut view of the post. I hope the detailed look at the blogs/ songs/ contents of each the article will be far more rewarding and enjoyable.
Thanks also for recommendation of the chitramala site.
